Filter by:Over the last few years, there has been a considerable interest in the development of screening tools to assess the capability of elderly cancer patients to tolerate anti-cancer treatment. Therefore, the NCCN Guidelines in Senior Adult Oncology recommend an assessment of co-morbid conditions that are likely to interfere with cancer treatment and tolerability. As presbyacusis is common in an older population, elderly cancer patients are at high risk for social isolation and a reduced quality of life. Therefore, in this project the investigators aim to validatie uHear™ as a quick and reliable screening tool to screen for presbyacusisf in routine clinical oncology practice.
This study evaluates the long term safety and effectiveness of the Nucleus Hybrid L24 Implant in a group of newly implanted adults.
This post approval study evaluates the long term safety and efficacy of the Nucleus Hybrid L24 Implant System in a group of already implanted recipients.
Hearing impaired persons suffer from inferior music perception with and without hearing aids. Hearing aids, however, are primarily designed to improve speech intelligibility not music enjoyment. This study investigates the potential benefit of signal processing strategies that are optimized for music. The purpose of this study is to improve music compression for hearing impaired people.
Cochlear implant microphones are subject to aging and dirtying. The evolution may affect their efficiency. Several signal coding strategies are used in cochlear implants and their behaviour may be more or less affected by the aging process. In this work the investigators wish to assess this phenomenon.
This study aims to demonstrate that the investigational drug AUT00063 is effective and safe in the treatment of age-related hearing loss.
This study aims at investigating new automatic fitting techniques for cochlear implant patients based on objective measures. For this reason, the evolution of these neurophysiological measures, expressing the encoding of pure tones and speech, will be characterized in cochlear implanted patients as a function of post-implantation time and will be compared to those of normal hearing subjects. Moreover, the effect of auditory training with new tools based on serious games will be assessed.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate audio quality benefit for the patient implanted with a Cochlear or Otologics Carina implant with the new firmware (feedback canceller algorithm) whatever the patient environment is and to evaluate the functional gain and speech understanding benefit for the patient upon the firmware used (new and reference firmware). The new firmware aims to adapt automatically for feedback cancellation without prior calibration.
This study is designed to compare two different surfaces of bone anchored hearing aid abutments in terms of bacterial colonization, inflammatory response and skin reactions.
The purpose of this study is to examine two frequency lowering techniques in case of audibility, recognition, distinction, discriminability and sound quality.
